Default Off to Stuttgart

Fellas ... I'm off to Stuttgart in a couple of hours to pick up from factory tomorrow morning a C4S Black/Cocoa, Power kit, PCCB, -20mm SS. This'll be my first P car to pick up from those who built her. Drive back to London should be amazing ...

I'll post pics as soon as I have them...

I'll be safe, I've got my wife w/ me who's promised to behave. Rome, the Alps & Pyrennes beckon, but I've gottta get my *** back in the office. You guys are well represented in this car... This forum has been amazing. This car would have been specced like a chevy if I relied solely on my dealer. Pics in a few days.

I'm looking forward to reading about your experiences. My wife and I have decided that we will do a Euro delivery when we buy ours; for now it is a case of getting the timing right for both myself and my wife. The Euro delivery option got my wife more interested in this!

Our plans: drive south through Switzerland, and then Italy. Visit relatives in Torino, then head west to the Italian and then French Riviera and Provence. My wife is a francophone so we'll be fine w/ the language. Depending on where we can drop the car off, we'll either go to the Loire valley and Paris or further west into Spain.

Edgy01- Yes, I've already read your threads about your Euro delivery! My reaction:

Have a fun trip!!
